Question

Different stars have a number of physical characteristics that vary for each of the different types of stars. Which quality determines, the fate of a star as black hole upon its death?

• A. Temperature
• B. Amount of light it emits
• C. Mass
• D. Altitude of star

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mass

• A black hole does not have a surface, like a planet or star. Instead, it is a region of space where matter has collapsed in on itself.
• This catastrophic collapse results in a huge amount of mass being concentrated in an incredibly small area.
• The gravitational pull of this region is so great that nothing can escape, not even light.
